BENDING TIME IN MASONIC FASHION

What are the tools to use?  Or is it a particular way of thinking that ensures us a clear, accurate recounting of history?  Are we simply witless  pawns in a contest,subject to a strategy unknown to winner or loser?   If that is the case, if we a guileless generation of hand shakers, is it possible for us to reexamine our manuscripts with a view to better understanding the bias present?  A retelling of events captures the perspective of the story teller.  What ever this word perspective means, is beyond my ken. Is it a special blend of personality, prejudice, timing and ability? Is that the way we see the world?   Is it opinion or truth?

Freemasonry I contend, does in a sense, bend time to reduce the impression we cannot answer some pertinent questions- better to steer away as if they do not exist, that to show we are incomplete.  We bend time because we have neglected our studies. It is not our philosophy that is weak. It is our acceptance of metaphysics in a materialistic world that mocks the imagination. 

Does it matter?   Myth allows us to preserve the essence of allegory, taking it out of materialistic measure, taking it into metaphysics.
